Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life.

The game, slated for release by October 2006 in advance of the Christmas shopping rush, has been previewed at video game exhibitions, and reviewed by major newspapers and magazines. But until now, no fan or critic has pointed out the controversial game's connection to Mr. Warren or his dominionist agenda.

What is heretical, blasphemous and totally biblically illiterate is the notion that it is up to any christian person to remake Society into one ruled by God.
as Scripture says in Romans 8: It does not depend on him who wils or runs but on God who has the mercy.
In making it up to a religious fanatic who has the right to kill or convert is to have the fanatic play at being God.
This is the presumption of Satan himself
It also usurps God's prerogative of judgement. God and GOD ALONE has the right to execute sentence on the world, as it isays in the LAw of Moses "Vengeance is MINE (ie God's and God's alone) and I (ie He and NOONE but him) will repay"
as for their rejoicing that God will destroy the unrighteous goes far beyond even God's attitude, for God said in scripture that he does not delight in the death of the wicked
Dominionism is heresy, the belief that the Kingdom of God wil come from the barrel of a relgious fanatic's gun is not only insane but a tired old fallacy that has surfaced before.
The left behind book and games are heresy and blasphemy, proof that for them the Bible is a toy for self gratification not the holy word of God to be heeded and obeyed

Respect for Others? or Political Correctness? The term "political correctness" as used by Conservatives and Republicans has often puzzled me: what exactly do they mean by it?
